Holy shit. I've never whipped a book across my room before, but I did with this one. Twice. Parts of the plotline made me cringe (literally), some parts made me throw my hands over my face in disgust, and some made me so furious I had to stop reading. It was powerfully written, and (relatively speaking), quite unpredictable.
This book is fantastic not only for the responses it illicits from readers, but also because it makes people in the Middle East look like humans (as opposed to just numbers in a death toll).
My favorite quotes:
"I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn't. I just watched. Paralyzed."
"There is a way to be good again."
